the long life of 1sloho

so, i sit here bored with nothing to do so, i say to myself, why not make a thread of the progression of your car? i may have already made one of these threads a long time ago but, its long gone so im gonna make another!! lol dont have pics of every step but, ive got tons from the past 10 years.

yup...i had the ugly(imo) taillights also. lol. my first performance mod was a FC intake, which is still on the car. im never getting rid of it because someday, i WILL get the ever so rare FC hood. onto the next mods which were a drop, some enkei RS7 wheels and a FC 65mm t/b and a trubendz borla exhaust.

its been a GREAT decade of ownership. have had its ups and downs but, mostly ups. i love this lil car and the FF community!! hope u enjoyed the lil timeline of my obsession. ill post a mod list below for those interested...

Wow. It's been quite the journey. It's great seeing where a car has come from.

Good read! I love it. I painted my focus badges a couple days ago, and was wondering where I should put them inside. I think I will choose where you did because it looks great!

"then, i went plaid." ...definitely wasn't expecting that haha, but looks real good because it's different and unique! [thumb] and to be honest i love the look of the black hood compared to the cf one, just makes it flow so much better and looks slick man especially with that front bumper! [giddy] excellent work!

its easy but...VERY time consuming. just cut out a piece of fabric big enough, spray both the surface and fabric with some spray adhesive, and get to work. lol. was hard with the design trying to keep things straight. once u have everything the way u like it, cut out the holes but be sure to leave a lil extra to tuck in behind the piece. the adhesive i got didnt set up quick so, had some time to get things right.

lol...was hoping to get that reaction. i love the plaid as well. as for the hoods, i like both of em honestly. the black flows but the cf one did also cause it kinda matches the wheels. id like to spend some quality time on it but 1. ive got too many things goin right now and 2. when i do get the time, i get lazy. lol

thanx for the feedback! the obsession is never complete and will be forever on going.........lol
